The Application Gallery features COMSOL Multiphysics® tutorial and demo app files pertinent to the electrical, structural, acoustics, fluid, heat, and chemical disciplines. You can use these examples as a starting point for your own simulation work by downloading the tutorial model or demo app file and its accompanying instructions.
Search for tutorials and apps relevant to your area of expertise via the Quick Search feature. Note that many of the examples featured here can also be accessed via the Application Libraries that are built into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and available from the File menu.
An acousto-optic modulator (AOM) is a device which can be used for controlling the power, frequency or spatial direction of a laser beam with an electrical drive signal. It is based on the acousto-optic effect, that is, the modification of the refractive index by the oscillating ... Read More
As reactant monomer converts into polymer chains, the density of the reacting mixture often changes notably. In this example you will look at how this effect impacts the total production of polymer in a process. The liquid phase polymerization takes place in a semibatch reactor, where ... Read More
A Fresnel rhomb is a prism that uses total internal reflection to manipulate the polarization of light. In this example, light in the prism is internally reflected at an angle of incidence that induces a 45-degree phase delay between s- and p-polarized radiation. By subjecting the light ... Read More
A gate-all-around MOSFET consists of a nanowire with a gate electrode wrapped around the circumference. Since the entire nanowire forms the channel, this configuration provides the best possible electrostatic control of the channel and offers a good candidate for the miniaturization of ... Read More
This model demonstrates topology optimization of a 2D heat exchanger with laminar flow. The flow is pressure driven and the objective is to maximize the heat transfer. The density method is used with the (now) classical approach of a single design variable and two flow interfaces. ... Read More
The four-point bending test is a conventional test method used to test the mechanical properties of materials subjected to bending. It is a reliability test used for semiconductor packaging and assembly. This model demonstrates the stress analysis of an IGBT module subjected to a four ... Read More
In this model example, you will study the creep behavior of material under non-constant loading. You will model the primary creep using a Norton–Bailey law and study the difference between the time hardening and the strain hardening methods available in COMSOL Multiphysics. The model is ...

Diaphragm accumulators are essential components that store energy and regulate hydraulic systems. A flexible rubber diaphragm divides the hydraulic fluid from a compressible inert gas, typically nitrogen. These accumulators perform multiple tasks, such as temporarily storing hydraulic ... Read More
This tutorial model shows how to import data from an ODB++® archive to generate a geometry of a printed circuit board (PCB). Follow the instructions to learn how to remove small details from the geometry, create a mesh, and use automatically generated selections to define physics and ... Read More
Interference fit is a technique used to join or fit one part over or around another part. The internal part is cooled, so that it shrinks, and is then fitted. Once the part heats up again and expands, a contact pressure builds up at the interface between the two parts. This type of ... Read More
